Cognitive psychology

From Conservapedia

Cognitive psychology is a paradigm of psychology that places strong emphasis on understanding the mind as a cause of behavior. Research focuses on many areas including: perception, memory, speech, attention, and action choice. Cognitive psychologist believe that it is possible to both systematically describe and empirically examine the components of the mind. The field draws heavily on analogies to computational science and describes the mind as a collection of algorithms. The computational theory of mind is a central component to most of cognitive psychology research.
